So, Michelle Obama seems to be as delusional as her husband. Yesterday, she said that childhood obesity (a Crisis!) is a threat to national security. No, really. She actually said that:

(CNSNews.com)  At a ceremony at the White House on Tuesday, First Lady Michelle Obama announced the launch of the Lets Move campaign to end childhood obesity in the United States, an epidemic she said is costly and a threat to national security.

A recent study put the health care cost of obesity-related diseases at $147 billion a year, Mrs. Obama said. This epidemic also impacts the nations security, as obesity is now one of the most common disqualifiers for military service.

Fat kids are a threat to national security? I dont think shes really being fair; her husband is not fat. I suppose now instead of man-made disasters, terrorism will be called donut-made disasters? I just gave my kid fried chicken nuggets for lunch. Shall I now refer to her as NSR (national security risk)? Shall I make her new punishment You go to bed with evil, security risky dessert!!

Besides the stupidity of the national security premise, the entire initiative is ridiculous and a waste of OUR money. She goes on to say that we dum-dum parents cant figure out what food is healthy or not, without the aid of Big Nanny Government. Hey, Michelle? Your husband is Big Nanny Government and he still doesnt realize that smoking is bad for you (which, by the way, is the one thing that I like about him.)

I loved Dunkin Donuts before. Now that they no longer fry their donuts in trans fats they just aren’t as good.

KFC also lost me when they stopped frying their extra crispy chicken in trans fats. Our local VFW in Troy has the best fish fries on Friday night ....I can hear my arteries clogging when I bite into that crunchy crust but they are my arteries so Obama mind your own business.

If by threat to national security she means that fatties can’t get into the military, she is stating the obvious. Allow me to point out that in general the military isn’t a magnet for blacks either. My son’s basic training class in 2006 had 1 black kid of the 200 soldiers. Go into anything that takes grit and there were zero in his Ranger battalion at any rank or level. Guess striving to achieve is just too much to expect of them. Racist? Nope, just observant.

To Michelle and your Bobblehead husband, we dont need you telling us what we should do with our bodies.. You seeem to be ok with Abortion, and a womans right to choose what to do with her body, yet you want to tell us what not to eat..

Newsflash, we dont care what you think! We care about jobs, economy, national security...

STFU about all this other stuff that you seem to think we care about and do your job and lead this nation in the real issues and not your “train wreck agenda”.

I read a report the other day that stated that 75% of american utes are unable to pass the entrance physical for the military. Now, I don’t know about that, but I do know that when I tested a bunch of national guard infantrymen a huge chunk of them were unable to do more than a few pushups or situps. These were young guys, and they weren’t fat, per se, they were weak and out of shape. I told them that they were dead men walking if they didn’t get their rears in gear.

I made peanut butter cookies with chocolate chips for hubby today...we eat thinks like these in moderation. And don't drink 5-6 sodas a day like these kids do.

I can't imagine the work it took to pull this off turn up your sound: Born Again American

Rename, repackage, rewrite it a tad smaller, and sell another pig in a poke.

Tennessee has joined several other states in trying to pass a Health Care Freedom Act. NO COLAs for granny, retired Military or retired fed employees. BIG NEW fees for Tricare for Life retired over 65 Military's secondary health ins. (DOD bill already passed, delayed but goes into effect 2011)

You noticed that too? Very few blacks are tankers but the higher ranked enlisted who supervise are almost all black. They don’t have a clue what the troops are doing but they keep screaming. Army Times stated 2 yrs ago that over 50% (maybe more) of the top rank Sgt Majors were black and only 15% of the Army was black. Said that it could lead to charges of reverse discrimination. Lot of good that article did.
